The Supreme Court just struck down broad US tariffs and ordered $100 billion in refunds, which acts as a massive tax cut for global businesses. At the same time, Singapore's largest bank just beat earnings expectations, raised its guidance, and confirmed a surge in wealth management — proving international capital is flowing freely again.

## Idea

The $100 billion tariff refund is essentially a surprise tax cut for companies that import goods, injecting fresh cash into corporate balance sheets and boosting global trade sentiment. DBS is a direct beneficiary because it sits at the crossroads of Asian commerce and global wealth, and its decision to raise guidance shows the region's financial flows are accelerating. With the S&P 500 hitting record highs on the back of strong earnings, the macro environment is shifting toward risk-on, which favors international banks levered to global growth over defensive names.
